Hardware Quality Dictates The Price
The primary factor that inflates or deflates a shower enclosure quote isn't the glass—it is the hardware material.
Marine Grade Hardware
Cheap quotes often use chrome-plated brass or zinc alloys which blister and rust within 18 months in humid environments. We quote exclusively using Marine Grade 304/316 Stainless Steel for lifelong structural integrity.
Glass Thickness
10mm tempered is the code-minimum and our standard. 12mm is recommended for wider panels. The price difference between 8mm and 10mm/12mm is significant but necessary for safety.
Configuration Type
A simple inline 2-panel fixed-and-door is the most affordable. Corner, L-shape, walk-in, and curved enclosures require more glass cuts, more silicone joints, and more complex installation.

Key Features
What Drives Shower Enclosure Cost
Glass thickness, configuration, and hardware grade are the three main price levers.
Glass Thickness
10mm tempered is the code-minimum and our standard. 12mm is recommended for wider panels or premium projects. The price difference is significant but so is the visual and structural difference.
Configuration Type
A simple inline 2-panel fixed-and-door is the most affordable. Corner, L-shape, walk-in, and curved enclosures require more glass cuts, more silicone joints, and more complex installation.
Frameless vs Semi-Frameless
Frameless uses patch fittings and a floor spring, which cost more than the aluminum channel of a semi-frameless system. However, frameless looks dramatically more premium and is easier to clean long-term.
Hardware Grade
Standard 304 stainless steel hinges and handles are included in base pricing. Upgrade to 316 marine-grade stainless (recommended for high-humidity bathrooms) or matte black or brushed gold finish at additional cost.
Site Conditions
Drilling through thick tiles into concrete costs more than drilling into standard screed. Unusually high ceilings, curved walls, or uneven floors all add complexity and time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about shower enclosure pricing from Philippine homeowners.
What is the average cost of a frameless shower enclosure in the Philippines?
A standard inline frameless shower enclosure (1 fixed panel + 1 swing door, 900mm x 2000mm opening) with 10mm tempered glass and 304 stainless hardware starts at approximately P22,000 to P35,000 installed. Corner configurations, 12mm glass, or premium hardware finishes increase the price.
Is frameless glass much more expensive than semi-frameless?
Yes, typically 30 to 50 percent more. Frameless requires heavier glass (10mm minimum vs 8mm), more expensive patch fittings, and a floor spring pivot instead of a simple hinge bracket. The premium is worth it for the cleaner aesthetic and easier long-term maintenance.
Does the quotation include the shower drain and plumbing?
No. Our quotation covers only the glass enclosure, hardware, and installation. Shower drain, plumbing, tile work, and waterproofing membrane are separate trades. We recommend completing all tile and plumbing work before we measure and fabricate the enclosure, as our panels are cut to exact dimensions.
How long does shower enclosure installation take?
Measurement and fabrication takes 5 to 7 business days after your approval of the quotation. The actual installation day typically takes 3 to 5 hours depending on configuration complexity. We require the tile and plumbing work to be fully completed and cured before installation.
